@Rob Henderson Welcome! I wish you the best on your journey!

My employer plan has a $7150 out of pocket maximum. That means once I meet the $7150 out of pocket cost, then everything including meds and copays is covered at 100%. I also have a premium of $100 that my employer deducts from my paycheck every two weeks. So total that I pay out of pocket per year is $9750. My insurance covers both SOC and integrative/functional/naturopathic care. It also covers chiropractic care, massage therapy, physical therapy, and acupuncture. The insurance company also has a nurse case manager program that provides a patient advocate and opens up opportunities to possibly get some cancer treatments covered that might not be covered otherwise. They automatically enroll you in the nurse case manager program when you are diagnosed with cancer. Lastly, since I am a military veteran, I also have access to medical care through the VA (Veteran's Administration) if I choose to use it.

@Emre Goecen Welcome! I believe @Gido Van Tienhoven has been diagnosed with NEC as well. Maybe the two of you can connect. Wishing all the best for you and your dad!

Thank you! Appreciate all you do for us!

My oncologist wanted me to do the conventional treatments since this was my second cancer. I know he was disappointed when I declined the conventional treatments for metabolic therapy, but he still told me that he supported me in my choice, and that he was still going to be there for me and take care of me. We have had some encouraging discussions, and I'm going to continue working on this. I also have an awesome naturopath as my primary doctor. She agrees with me doing the metabolic therapy and immediately jumped into brainstorming with me re HBOT, etc.
